The Viognier vines that make up this Condrieu come from old plots, often over 30 years old, rooted in clay-limestone soils. This unique terroir, bathed in the Rhône sunshine, offers ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen. The climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, promotes the aromatic expression of the grape variety, while the region's steep slopes ensure good drainage, essential for the health of the vines.
